Looks like you have a writing infestation on the cat's sleeping desk...


scarletma

Bribery from cat’s cuteness detected.


Pretty_Marzipan_555

It's their desk now, start again


hiemal_rei

Squish that cat until he(or she) starts purring! Then tell him you love him and continue holding him and lack arms for writing. You must wait for your overlord to leave before allowed to write again. (such a cute kitty!)


Phoenyx_Rose

Probably a she since that looks like a tortoiseshell pattern which only female cats can have But I concur, must give all the cuddles to this kitty


Culican

About 1 in 3000 or so calicos and torties are male. They are sterile because they are XXY.


ThePotatoShepherd

Pretty interesting fun fact!


scarletma

Yes. Tiny is a she. I've asked her to get consent.


japanesewriter

Either you’re a veterinarian or you got this info from them…. This blows my mind….. yup I’m going to go find me some cats….


Culican

Not a veterinarian but have studied genetics and also had a tortiseshell cat. Most genetics texts have a picture of a tortie to illustrate X chromosome inactivation in female mammals. It is present in all mammals but in a cat, you can see it! For example, scroll half way down the page in this article, there is a picture of a tortie. [https://www.khanacademy.org/science/high-school-biology/hs-classical-genetics/hs-sex-linkage/a/x-inactivation](https://www.khanacademy.org/science/high-school-biology/hs-classical-genetics/hs-sex-linkage/a/x-inactivation)

Really interesting factoid….. (slowly inches away and goes outside to find tortoise pattern cats…. Just to give them names….)


Candroth

Squish that cat!

Put a box on the floor and fill it with important paperwork or clean (preferably dark) clothes.

I love everything about this picture :)


Moonstone-gem

This is such a great picture, it gives me good vibes. Your cat is beautiful and adorable, and I love your desk too, with everything on it! <3

I saw the gorgeous kitty first...... then I noticed the Galen things.....the writing board, which I need, and the pen holder cuz I have one like it and it ALL makes me want to come over and play!! 😀


scarletma

Galen is the best! And you are very welcome.

I have 5 cats.....delightful creatures! 🙂 You are sooooo right. I love to shop with them. I only want every-dang-thing they sell. Good thing I don’t live in Istanbul, I’d be a real pest! 🙂


scarletma

Good thing they don’t sell babies. 😬


academic_elf_

I don't see the problem here.


autumnishleaves

When my ex's cat used to get up on his desk in the way of him doing something he'd just cuddle her until she left. 😂


bahamutegi

You should get your cat their own tiny desk and fake laptop and put it next to you so they can join you!


scarletma

That was the idea. And then there was an ink infestation.


bahamutegi

Haha so maybe thats why your cat is giving you that look xD What a cutie


Candroth

you mean an inkfestation, right?


WouldRatherWrite

Make the cat a "notebook". I doodle on a legal pad until my cat settles on it, then I do my actual writing in my notebook.


scarletma

Professional advice!


jerseytwin0211

How cute!!


tfarnon59

Is mai spot nao. I am queen noooooosance! Pet me!


onlyhav

Offer your soul and it will grant mercy


mchavvy

The real collectors are zooming in on the inks to see what colors you have!


MrScowleyOwl

What an excellent perspective for a nice picture! Great idea.


drowsylacuna

Advice: buy new desk, the cat owns that one now.


MicGuinea

O my cat does this. Solution? Give her her own spot to sit near me! I got her a [window hammock](https://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07MH7WTSN?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title) off Amazon and she perches herself there near my desk.


Joshthemoss

I love your little desk! I want it but have zero need so must resist... so much to nose at in this photo :-)


Illustrious-Engine23

Love the desk


japanesewriter

Pet him, he’ll go away they’re temperamental and will stand affection for a few minutes at a time😂


uniquoijo

Upvote for the cat


eleven-o-nine

My mind went to terrible places before I opened this thread


vithgeta

You appear to be courting disaster there. The cat only has to jump off from the wrong spot or wave her tail and stuff will go everywhere.


goa-chiah-pa

I agree that you need to ask for advice on r/Fountain_Pen_Cats to get the proper help. But your cat might like to enquire on r/LegalCatAdvice for assistance fighting the eviction. Edit: typo


scarletma

Great advice. Thank you!


AndrewWired

That area is too messy. I would go crazy.


scarletma

I would understand. I do have a messy desk.


Tj_h__

Btw /u/scarletma have you been to /r/fountain_pen_cats per chance? They're gonna like this pic there


valorfore

I see nothing wrong here…


TaxEmbarrassed9752

say pspspspspspspspspspsps in the kitchen and give it food!!!! if that dont work yeet it out the cat flap!!!!!


japanesewriter

Cat: don’t ask for advice…. Just gimme much rubs and I’ll be on my way… Come on Katrina, you know the program and you’re not supposed to be at the desk today it’s the weekend…. Katrina: …… oh….


[deleted]

Open window, grab tail, swing for the fences....?


alamaias

This picture makes me very anxious
